Almost perfect. A couple minor bugs. Works quietly in background very well--automatically backing up my photos when charging. Backing out of sync status screen returns you to the same screen about 5 times in a row, but overall this is great. Considering full version soon, even though this does everything I need!

It's awesome... Working well on lollipop. Really good, hard to fault. But can be a bit slow syncing, particularly checking/scanning files. Working great on lollipo, seems a bit quicker. Enables syncing to external SD card, which is a huge bonus seeing as a lot of similar apps do not support this. Keep up the great work.

Almost Perfect It can do what Synchronize Ultimate (bad/complicated UI), Dropbox (file size limit), FileSync (fails often and runs down battery) and other similar apps can't, it consistently syncs to the cloud. It's not fast, but it works. UPDATE 9 Jul '15: The option to auto delete source files after syncing, deletes all the files (good), but doesn't sync them all to the cloud (bad). It only syncs one file, if there are 2 or more. I wrote to dev, but received no reply, so reducing from 4 stars to 3

No longer an awesome program Downgraded to 3 stars as it can't write to external sdcard after upgrading to lollipop. If you need it, you can't go wrong with foldersync. It works great at synchronizing folders between phone, my home network and cloud storage. I also use it to keep folders on the phone' internal and external memory cards in sync. Highly recomended.

A far better way to access Gdrive, Dropbox etc If your Android is pushed for space and doesn't cope well with the official Gdrive & Dropbox apps, then this is a great alternative. You can spare your Android's resources and use this one app to sync only the folders from each that you specify. Early days, but if it runs smoothly I'll definitely be buying the pro version!

Great app...but The app works perfectly and do the job right.....but however would be better if it has a pause button, that will be great so that if you are moving out of range of your wifi you can pause and resume.....if you stop the sync and restart it, it re scan the entire data again which is time consuming. I think you can add this in your next update...then i will rate 5 stars :)

For the people complaining about not being able to write to SD then that isn't the App issue it's Android (KK & Lollipop) I assume u would be able to write on the SD under the app folder in android/data/whatever the app name. I am using this app to auto backup my whatsapp folder. It's v large and this app does a beautiful job at sync. I have purchased pro from Amazon (free coins) and was well worth it although in fairness I could do exactly what I want with the lite version but the Dev deserves the support

It's awesome It really works great. I'm using it with Google Drive on my phone for backup of pictures, downloads, media, etc. and to cross-sync with my Chromebook and PC downloads through GD. It can be a battery hog on auto-sync (I suspect) but it comes with a sync widget, which I run a couple times a day. I may be wrong about what was draining my battery - it's a new droid mini.

Poor support A powerful and useful application with bad support. Google introduced terrible changes with 4.4.2 to the SD card, but I've rooted my phone and addressed those, yet still this fails due to some poor code. I am doing a 1 way nightly sync to my NAS, so I fail to understand why the application even needs to write locally to the phone in the first place. Multiple users have asked the developer, he simply ignores SD card write issue queries at this point. Google for "EACCES" many people with issue.

Essential, but difficult to use Don't get me wrong, this is fantastic application, and it's very customizable, but you can accidentally create really stupid setups. Some reasonable presets, perhaps; typical scenarios? Also, it would be great if in case of connection problems, sync would restart from the interruption point, instead of from scratch.

AWESOME APP! Great UI, Rich function set, huge benefit to automatically keeping all your files in sync across clouds and mobile devices. Took me a couple of tries to figure out cloud connection, but worked flawlessly with g.drive and Dropbox.

SUCKS BALLS I don't care about all the giant ads if this app worked. I installed it on 2 phones. Syncing is completely hit or miss. You have to hit the buttons several times before the app responds. The UI is half assed and the app doesn't tell you what the hell is going on. Hitting cancel during a sync does nothing. Can't even sync one Google drive folder with a folder on the phone reliably. Uninstalling when I find a better replacement.

Very good I use 3 apps for file management : - X-plore file manager who is excelent and have a must have features for me : dual-pane and tree view that greatly eases files/folder move and copy. Also tranfer from/to cloud really works well - ES file explorer for a files/folders overview and for a lot of tools - FolderSync that is excelent for cloud transfer

Best App To Sync a Special Folder This is the best app for me to sync a special folder from dropbox to my android phone.It is very useful for my accounting software Mukti Software. Now i can watch Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, Account Ledger From Mukti Software To My android Phone.

New user and I like it I've only been using this application for a few days (also tried another) and feel this is better. I'm syncing with dropbox and onedrive and I'm really impressed (would like to try out sync to googledrive). I suspect that I'll be impressed enough to buy the paid for version.

I need sync method - upload mirror Make the linked online folder an exact copy (mirror) of the linked local folder. All files are uploaded and files deleted locally are deleted in the online folder. Two-way method is different from upload mirror.

Just Perfect Link it with Dropbox (with limited space) and if you like to avail stupid Google Drive (15Gb), still this app lets you connect flawless. I stopped using Google photos and using this app to save photos on Google Drive where I can organise them myself in custom folders. Keep up good work...

Great way to sync your files For those that didn't read the help file than read on. If you are planning to purchase the paid version. Make sure you back up the Lite version in settings before you uninstall it. Go into the paid version settings then restore backup. Restart app. That's it. A great utility application.

Battery Killer I installed the app and added a SMB account. I did not even configure any folders to sync. After that the app became first amongst battery users with 16%. If you need your battery power avoid this.

S5 like a boss! Works great on my S5 with the latest updates. What else is there to say? 2 complaints though: 1: we need better instructions, especially when setting up sync pairs between computers on the local area network. 2: if I have to put up with ads (which I don't really mind), I want the full featured program. Sucks that I have to use a limited program AND have ads, too.

Set and forget I use this to sync photos to my home file server via sftp. It waits for a connection to a charger and my home WiFi and then syncs silently. Takes a little bit to get set up, but a great and powerful program.

Great but... No app password There is no support for app passwords - a must have option for users with a second factor of authentication. This means that you must insert your real Google/Microsoft/Dropbox/etc. password.
